Searching for a computer

[Ing. Leandro Pérez Guió]

Hello:

I wanna know if a certain computer exists on the network by giving its name.
How can I do that? Any of you could send me the code?

Resolve the name. If it throws an exception, it couldn't find it for some
reason:

try {
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName(hostName);
Console.WriteLine(hostInfo.AddressList[0].ToString());
} catch (SocketException exc) {
Console.WriteLine("[Error {0}]: {1}", exc.ErrorCode, exc.Message);
}

Hope that helps,
